According to Drake there was no demand for his first reprint (1833) of the "Present state" and its accompanying "Continuation," and it "lay some three years on hand, excepting what were gratuitously distributed." They "were not reprinted (for the first edition [of the Old Indian Chronicle]), as enough of them remained on hand in 1836 to complete the edition of some 250 copies." In order to complete the edition of the Chronicle, of which 500 copies had been printed in all, these two tracts were reprinted shortly afterwards differing in the arrangement of nearly every page from the edition of 1833. The title of this reprint of the "Present state" is as follows:

Preston (Capt. William). [Vocabulary of the Potawatomy, Miami, Delaware, Shawnee, and Cherokee languages.]

Manuscript in possession of the late Col. John Mason Brown, Louisville, Ky. Recorded in a blank book 6 by 8 inches in size, probably the orderly book of the company commanded by Captain Preston. The date, January 29, 1793, appears on the inside of the cover.

The Potawatomy vocabulary covers three pages, and consists of 72 words and phrases, including the numerals 1-9. This is followed by geographical names in the Miami, which cover one page and give the Indian designation of the Ohio, Kentucky, Kanawha, and other rivers, sixteen in all. The following page is occu. pied by a similar list in Delaware, and this is followed by a list of words and phrases in the Miami, occupying six pages and containing 139 words and phrases.

Following the last mentioned is a vocabulary of the Shawanee language, with certain remarks on pronunciation of the aspirates and accentuation of syllables. The first page bears date February 7, 1796, at Greenville. There are nineteen pages of this vocabulary. The English words are arranged alphabetically, or approximately so, followed by the Indian equiva lents, amounting to 481 words and phrases.

Preston (W.) - Continued.

Following this Shawanee vocabulary is a single page of Cherokee vocabulary consisting of 20 words.

A copy of the manuscript is in the library of the Bureau of Ethnology.

The sixteen geographic names in Miami and Delaware found in this manuscript were pub. lished in The Virginias, vol. 6, pp. 166-167, Staunton, Va, 1885, 4°. (Pilling.) The editor of that periodical, Col. Jed. Hotchkiss, then submitted a copy to Dr. J. Hammond Trumbull, who supplied some valuable notes on the signification of the Indian names. The vocabulary with Dr. Trumbull's notes was then reprinted in The Industrial South, vol. 6, pp. 19-20, Richmond, Va., January 13, 1886, 4°. (Pilling.)

William Preston, soldier, born in county Donegal, Ireland, 25 December, 1729; died in Montgomery County, Virginia, 28 July, 1783. He became deputy sheriff of Augusta County in 1750; was elected to the house of burgesses and accompanied General Washington on several exploring expeditions in the west. He was appointed one of two commisssoners to make a treaty with the Shawnee and Delaware Indians in 1757. He became surveyor of the new county of Montgomery in 1771, and was early engaged in the organization of troops for the Revolutionary war; became colonel in 1775, and led his regiment at Guilford Court-House, S. C., where he received injuries that caused his death in the following July.-Appleton's Cyclop. of Am. Biog.
